I woke up today at my set time, which was really good. My family was caught up in other stuff - S was falling asleep on the sofa. And K was talking on the phone with her mother. That's another story, and a really exciting one, methinks. But this story is about when I went to grab the computer, K quickly took it and changed the page that had been on the screen. Then she turned it over to me without saying a word. I knew the World Cup scores were on that page, and I was about to take a look at them. I thought perhaps K was trying to keep me from seeing them, so that I could not have any replay viewing spoiled, and later, that's exactly what she told me she was doing.
She's just been really attentive lately. Trying to make sure I get in some World Cup watching, or even paying attention to my silly monster game. Or suggesting she and I swap cars to make my trip up to PDX more comfortable. Or really trying to help me come up with a solution to money issues. Lots of things, but the World Cup stuff really helps it all stand out. She's not sooo different that I think it's a new K, maybe it's just me who's noticing her. I bet that's it. Whatever it is, I like the connection, and I like the attention and the consideration. I like that it's all happening during such a potentially stressful time - a hot house, the middle of reorganizing a whole bunch of stuff, etc. It's just really cool to feel tuned in and moving in the right direction.
Oh shit, I know what else! That flipping Duran Duran tv show! I do not believe for a minute that she was remotely interested in watching that, and I know it got a bit tedious for her at times. But what a great sport she was about it. To find it, and stick around to watch it with me. Oh, and Nick's her favorite - smart girl.
That seriously makes me feel special. And makes me want to return that feeling to her.
Oh, it's you - i've always been this thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how one could choose a fave Duran (as they were called by a few ppl last night - as if saying another "duran" was too difficult) that isn't Nick since the others (of those who deigned to make an appearance) are all twatting wankers. Especially john. Wait. Is that the one i can't stand?
It is pretty awesome that we haven't had any tiffs what with the heat and cleaning the attic on 95 degree days.

ReplyDeleteI like 'twatting wankers.' Yeah, you're thinking of John, who was my favorite when I was a kid. As I grew up, I started leaning toward Nick.
ReplyDeleteI know you've always been thoughtful like this. So that's not different. And I don't think I've been oblivious, so that's not it. Maybe it's this new level of intro/retro-spection that's got me noticing so much. Or maybe the moon.
And thanks for my Spanish lesson.
